If Texas Tech had a game this Saturday, seniors Kenny Williams and Austin Stewart would be the 1-2 at Raider outside linebacker, co-defensive coordinator Mike Smith said Tuesday.
“What’s great about that is they’re both playing pretty well,” Smith said. “They’re both competing and both of them are cheering each other on. When you have two guys at a position playing well, competition makes a football team. They practice hard every day because they both want to play.”

Texas Tech defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt said before spring practice that sophomore safety Keenon Ward needed to finish better on tackles and show more confidence at the point of attack.

The following speech was delivered today by Rita Haecker, President of the Texas State Teachers Association, which endorsed Democrat Wendy Davis for governor earlier this year. It was entitled "Pre-Kindergarten works for children; Abbott doesn't."
"When I started my career, I taught first grade here in Austin, and I know, without question, that early childhood education and pre-kindergarten programs provide a foundation that shapes a child’s career in school and in life.

The Obama Administration released 67,879 criminal aliens during 2013 that should have been deported. Instead these criminal aliens were released in the United States.
Obama chronically chooses not to enforce existing laws. Obama purposefully suppresses the enforcement of immigration law.

When Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott visited Lubbock in February, he made a statement that has stuck with me since: "As your governor, I will drive a stake through the heart of CSCOPE and will never allow Common Core in the state of Texas."

There are many unanswerable questions in life: What's the meaning of life? Why do bad things happen to good people? What happened to Amelia Earhart? What is the point of that 2-square-inch tissue paper in wedding invitations?
